Another - Episode 7: Sphere joint

This episode
practically dealt with what happened 15yrs ago wherein the curse stopped
midway. It's still a mystery but it looks like this year's class 3 is willing
enough to try everything out to stop the curse.

Kubodera-sensei has
lost it. He killed himself in front of his students. With a kitchen knife (I
assume). He murdered his bedridden mother. He's a batchelor. Is this a result
of the curse as well? Probably. Kubodera-sensei's death could most likely be part
of the curse but it just didn't happened in an accident. Anyway, the
interesting part in here is that along with Kubodera-sensei's suicide is the
lifting of the non-existence of both Kouichi and Mei. I complete don't
understand why is it that they exist now. That people are allowed to talk to
them again.

is he looking at Kouichi?

and so, she's the first one to break the silence.

As I have said,
there're aren't much things happened other than further discussions on what
happened 15yrs ago. AND now, after Kubodera-sensei's death, Mikami-sensei has
taken the initiative of taking class 3 to a class trip. The destination of the
trip hasn’t been announced but has got to be to the shrine Chibiki has
mentioned. What bothered me here is that when Chibiki was about to mention
about the shrine being the place the class went to as well as the time 2 more
people died, an image of the mansion in the OP was showed for a couple of
seconds. What does that mean?

the mansion.

Other than
Mikami-sensei's action of taking the class to a trip to the shrine,
Teshigawara, Mochizuki, Izumi and Kouichi talked to Mochizuki's sister who was
able to talked to a guy from class 3 15yrs ago. He mentioned something about
saving the class and leaving something behind. I've been thinking about this
thing quite a while. To put things together, the class went to the shrine for a
class trip. This guy saved the class and two people die as well. Correct me if
I'm wrong but did the two people died is what he was talking about he left
behind? I wonder about that.

Finally, the
commotion about who the heck is dead isn't over yet. Sure I had the idea that
it was Kouichi and somehow, there're a couple of things that could strengthen
this idea. First off, Izumi said that the dead is really cold but she did also
said this time that she doesn't believe that. AND second, Teshigawara said that
there's no way he's going to be the dead one since he clearly remembers
everything he did in childhood which struck me with Kouichi whose past hasn't
been revealed yet. Well, I'm not saying that it's necessary or anything but
what I do remember is that his father blabbering something about getting back
to Yomiyama after sometime and I still believe the fact that he can't remember
that he lived in Yomiyama. Plus, remember Kouichi's dream? What does that
suppose to mean? ANYWAY, since Izumi raised the idea and Mei said that it
wasn't him, I kind of had second thoughts.

A couple of final
questions I have in mind, Izumi mentioned something about meeting Kouichi
before. What is their relation to each other. AND what's the point of knowing
who's dead in the class?

Meh. I feel like this horror anime isn't being very horror-ish with the last couple episodes. The most this episode did was splatter some blood around at the beginning. I usually don't watch the previews of the next episode afterwards but since there's a beach scene coming up.. turns out Another is going to be almost Slice-of-Life-ish. And I'm sure some typical beach-anime-stuff will happen.

i persobally have the same thoughts. if you haven't watch the beach episode, i suggest you dont expect so much from it. and yeah, as each episode goes, Another just gets less scarier it's disappointing.
